Plastic surgeon’s advertising ploy under fire

JUNIOR Health Minister Tim O’Malley yesterday condemned the manner in which New York plastic surgeon Dr Michael Sachs was able to advertise his services in this country to attract patients.

Limerick mother of two young boys, Kay Cregan, aged 42, died after undergoing a facelift in his New York clinic.

She found out about Dr Sachs after reading a newspaper article in which he was featured. A Co Carlow woman agreed to be the subject of a Sunday newspaper feature after Dr Sachs offered her a free facelift which would have cost in excess of €20,000.
